Yuck.

 Lets hypotphetically say we fix this for xcsoars volkslogger driver /
validation eninge. What will happen if someone for example uploads a 
real 2005 IGC file to skylines? (which uses xcsoar's validation procedure)   

Is the rollover issue clearly identifiable as such, or are just fixing
the date?
